ah, context helps a lot here.
When you say ‘neurodivergent’ do you mean:
A) #Allistic (neurotypical and neurodivergent); or
B) Autistic?
I got to learn the meaning of allistic a little while ago and remember this distinction. It’s an important difference in terms of discussions here imo. I’m allistic but neurodivergent (I have not been diagnosed autistic but I’m not neurotypical either).

The above aside, it should not matter what one’s brain circuitry is like, the onus is on the #teacher/#instructor to ensure the #driver/#rider is fully equiped to drive/ride before being licensed to do so. Imagine what would happen if we handed gun licenses the same way that driver licences are currently handed out. A vehicle is just as dangerous as a gun I would argue.

Everyone is different and every one ‘learns’ differently (the bane of teaching I gather from what I hear because of the diverstiy of strategies and learning experiences teaching demands — with bugger all extra staff to cope with the load, but that’s an entirely different matter).

#Testing is an important part sure, but that testing should also come with #PracticalLessons. Something like a #DefensiveDriving course on a dedicated off-street #track in the driver’s own vehicle. Drivers ought to be taught not only the #RoadRules and the mechanical aspects of #operating a specific piece of #machinery (car, Ute, bike, SUV, urban tractor, etc.), they should also be taught *roadcraft* while getting to know their ride and how to handle their own machinery under stress. Etc… and that’s only the beginning. #Roads need to be safer and in good order. #Signage needs to be comprehensive (maybe even electronically connecting with vehicles HUD). And lots more… #Policing needs a total revamp to get the ‘nazis’ off traffic policing, training them to suit the duties involved (they are dealing with people not perpetrators, more visible on-road presence, technolgically up to date, etc. And the speed-mafia ought to shut their trap and concentrate on the real road killer: ‘distraction’.

I do go on when I get started… sry

Just now thinking about technology that would allow a traffic patrol to electronically pair with a vehicle driven by an offender and taking over control to mimic the patrol car’s behaviour, slowing down, pulling off to the side and switching the ignition off (or battery off). No more dangerous and potentially killer pursuits. Dashcam records everything and uploads copies to driver and police alike to ensure impartiality and fairness in law. That sort of thing.

New-to-me, from Blag: Documenting the Signs and Sign Painters of Bursa, Turkey. “In last week’s ‘BLAG 09 Digital Companion’ I mentioned that there was more to come from Murat Ertürk and his ongoing work documentating the hand-painted signs and sign painters from Bursa, Northwest Turkey. Here he introduces the digital archive, YazıBursa (The Lettering of Bursa), that he has developed […]

The rain was falling steadily as I photographed this sign on the Sheep’s Head peninsula.

Curious about the sign, I looked up The Anchorage and found this for sale page saying it was recently sold, but an archive.org copy from 2019 shows the seller was looking for €695,000 back then.

2012 (Terror at Sea) I tried my hand at doing a themed web design and art for #HowloweenCanada (I was a web design baby, shhh) but it was a fun time. I also handled some basic signage that year as well.
